Business Planning to Maximise Value
A practical half‑day workshop to increase profitability and make your business future‑fit.
Description
Do you know what your business is really worth — and what would influence that value over time?
Whether you're looking towards succession, growth or investor readiness, these goals are all built on the same value drivers: profit, structure, systems and governance. In this in‑person, half‑day workshop, you’ll align personal and business goals, assess where your setup helps (or holds back) value, and set clear priorities for the next stage.
Led by Louise Neville from Accounting Solutions Limited, the session provides a practical framework to help you assess where your business is today and what you need to focus on next.
You’ll work through how personal goals align with business planning, explore ways to improve profit and value, and gain visibility over the organisational and governance elements that contribute to long-term financial sustainability.
The session also touches on organisational structures, financial system visibility, risk planning, and environmental considerations — helping you see the bigger picture and build resilience without unnecessary complexity.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have greater confidence in your business direction, clarity on your role in it and what is achievable, and a clear set of priorities to support value growth — whether you’re planning to a 3 or 30year horizon.
